St. Louis, Missouri. Once a mansion of chandeliers, marble, and fortune — now one of the most haunted houses in America.

The Lemp family built their empire on beer, but inside their 33-room mansion, sorrow took root. Five suicides. A legacy of grief. And a house that refuses to let go of its past.

Today, the Lemp Mansion is famous for more than history. Guests report footsteps in empty hallways. Staff hear boots crossing the ballroom after midnight. Paranormal investigators capture whispers - even the laughter of a child long gone.

Join host Robert Barber as we step inside the haunted Lemp Mansion - to explore its history, its ghosts, and the lingering question: is it the family that haunts these halls, or the grief itself?
